Scientists at UC Riverside have found a clever new way to outsmart termites—by turning their own instincts against them. Using a natural pine scent called pinene, which smells like food to termites, researchers can lure the pests straight toward a targeted dose of insecticide hidden in wood. The result is dramatically higher kill rates—jumping from about 70% to over 95%—without the need for widespread toxic fumigation.

Psychology says people who forget names almost immediately after meeting someone may not be rude, scattered, or bad with people — their brain may simply never have encoded the name before the conversation moved on

Forgetting a name seconds after hearing it is usually an encoding failure, not a character flaw. Names are arbitrary labels with no meaning to hook onto (the Baker/baker paradox), and they arrive at the worst moment for attention (the next-in-line effect). What actually helps, and what it does not excuse. Read more
